Auburn woman charged with drunken driving on Route 20

AUBURN — A local woman accused of drunken driving is to be arraigned Monday after she was arrested Friday with a blood-alcohol content that police say was more than five times the legal limit.

Several motorists called police shortly after 12:30 p.m. Friday reporting a driver was all over the road and crossing into oncoming traffic on Route 20. The driver was in a silver Toyota Camry heading west from the Worcester/Millbury area, police said.

Officer Keith Chipman said he found the car on Millbury Street and identified the driver as 21-year-old Tumelo Graveline of Auburn.

She allegedly told the officer she had just left her job at a Millbury restaurant. Police said she failed field sobriety tests and police confiscated an open bottle of Southern Comfort from the car.

Police said Ms. Graveline consented to a breath test that revealed her blood alcohol concentration was .41 percent. Driving at .08 percent or higher is illegal.

She was charged with drunken driving, negligent driving and other charges. Ms. Graveline is to be arraigned Monday in Central District Court in Worcester.
